A product line should NOT be discontinued if the contribution margin lost is A. less than the variable costs saved. B. less than the fixed costs saved. C. more than the fixed costs saved. D. more than the variable costs saved.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. less than the fixed costs saved.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A product line should NOT be discontinued if the contribution margin lost is "more than the fixed costs saved."

According to the economic rule, the product line should only be discontinued when the contribution margin lost is less than the fixed cost saved.

Also, this implies that the cost of production should be reduced or the production line discontinued.

However, when the contribution lost is more than the fixed cost saved, that shows profits.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option C. "more than the fixed costs saved."

Palin's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. The shop wishes to establish a periodic review system to manage inventory of this standard muffler. Use the information in the following table to determine the optimal inventory target level (or order-up-to level).
Annual demand 2,870 mufflers Ordering cost $65per order
Standard deviation of daily demand 6 mufflers per working day Service probability 76%
Item cost $31.00 per muffler Lead time 2 working days
Annual holding cost 22% of item value Working days 205 per year
Review period 16working days
a. What is the optimal target level (order-up-to level)? (Use Excel's NORMSINV) function to find the correct critical value for the given
α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round ''z'' value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
b. If the service probability requirement is 97 percent, the optimal target level will:
_____Increase
_____Decrease
_____Stay the same

Answers

Answer:

A.) 270 units (b.) Increase

Explanation:

Given the following :

Annual demand (A) = 2870

Working days = 205

Review period (P) = 16 working days

Lead time (L) = 2 working days

Standard deviation (σ) = 6 per working day

Service probability = 76%

Therefore, z = NORMSINV(0.76) = 0.71

Average demand (D) = 2870 / 205 = 14

Optimum target level, (S) is given by the relation:

D×(P+L) + z×σ×√(P+L)

14×(16+2) + 0.71×6×√(16+2)

(14×18) + 4.26 × √18

252 + 4.26*4.242

252 + 18.07

= 270.07 units = 270 units

B) If service probability increases to 97%, Z will automatically increase, hence a corresponding increase in the optimal target level.

Wine and Roses, Inc., offers a bond with a coupon of 5.0 percent with semiannual payments and a yield to maturity of 5.90 percent. The bonds mature in 10 years. What is the market price of a $1,000 face value bond?

Answers

Answer:

$932.7

Explanation:

First step

Semi- annual coupon rate = 5.0%/2 = 2.5%

Interest payment = 2.5% × $1,000 = $25

Semi annual yield = 5.90%/2 = 2.95%

PV of interest payment

= A × [1-(1+r)^(-n)]/r

A means interest payment of $25

n means to maturity -10×2 = 20 periods

= $25 × [1-(1+0.0295)^(-10×2)]/0.0295

= $25 × [1-(1.0295)^(-20)]/0.0295

= $25 × 14.94648325

= $373.6620813

Second step

PV of redemption value RV

= RV × (1+r)^(-n)

= 1,000 × (1+0.0295)^(-10×2)

= 1,000 × 0.5590787441

= $559

Third step

Price of bond

= $373.7 + $559

= $932.7

Which of the following is the easiest but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments?
A. Sequential method
B. Activity-based management method
C. Reciprocal services method
D. Direct method

Answers

Answer:

D. Direct method

Explanation:

Cost allocation in financial accounting can be defined as the process of identifying, gathering and assigning of cost across multiple cost objects such as products, inventory or departments.

There are various types of cost allocation methods and these are;

1. Sequential method.

2. Activity-based management method.

3. Reciprocal services method.

4. Direct method.

The direct method is an allocation method for cost, where costs of the production service department are directly allocated to the production (operating) department of a firm or business entity using appropriate allocation base and then allocated to the product itself.

Generally, the direct method is the easiest (simplest) but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments.

In which stage of the new-product development process would this have happened

Answers

Answer: D. Test marketing

Explanation:

Test Marketing is a stage in the New Product Development process where the product is tested in the real world or the Field Laboratory as it is otherwise known. Here the consumers are given a sample of the products and their responses are recorded without them knowing they are part of a test making their reactions as genuine as can be.

This stage helps the company more accurately ascertain how the new product will fare in the real world thereby giving them a chance to fix whatever needs fixing.

Its choices are given below. The cost of investment in manufacturing facilities will be a major one for the Canadian firm, but it is not outside its reach. If these are the firm's only options, which one would you advise it to choose? Why?
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
b. Manufacture the product at home and set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Europe to handle marketing.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer:

a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.

Explanation:

For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.

The foreign agent would strictly be focused on the marketing of the finished product without having access to the detailed information of the product.

ABG Corporation has the following dividend forecasts for the next three years: Year Expected Dividend 1 $ .25 2 $ .50 3 $ 1.25 After the third year, the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The required return is 10%. What is the price of the stock today?

Answers

Answer:

Price of share today =  $21.302

Explanation:

The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model  

According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.

If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:

Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)

Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate

Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3

Year                                               PV of Dividend

1            0.25 ×  1.1^(-1)         =          0.227

2              0.50  ×  1.1^(-2)     =         0.413

3             1.25   ×   1.1^(-3)      =         0.939

Strep 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity

PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 1.25 × 1.05/(0.1-0.05) = 26.25

PV in year 0 terms =  26.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 19.72

Present Value =   0.227  +    0.413  + 0.939  +   19.72 =  21.302

Price of share today =  $21.302

Explanation:

Journal entries initially record transactions on a day-to-day basis.  From the journal, the transactions are posted to the ledger accounts (e.g. T-accounts) and a trial balance is extracted to check if the two sides are in agreement.  At the end of the accounting period, adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal to ensure that accounts are based on the accrual concept and not on cash basis.

An account is today credited with its annual interest thereby bringing the accountbalance to $12,490. The interest rate is 5.70% compounded annually. You plan tomake annual withdrawals of $1,450 each. The first withdrawal is in exactly one yearand the last in exactly 9 years. Find the account balance immediately after the lastwithdrawal.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the account balance be B .

Equating the present value of money at 5.7 % discount

12490 = 1450 ( PVIFA , 5.7 , 9 ) + B ( PVIF , 5.7 , 9 )

= 1450 x 6.8938 + .6072  x B

= 9996.01 + .6072B

.6072 B = 2494

B = 4107  

g If the inflation rate is larger than the nominal interest rate: Group of answer choices the real interest rate is negative the real interest rate is larger than the nominal interest rate. the real interest rate is zero. Not enough information is given. unemployment rises.

Answers

Answer: the real interest rate is negative

Explanation:

The real interest rate is the rate of interest that is received or expected to be received by a lender, saver or an investor after due to inflation. Real interest rate is gotten when the inflation rate is deducted from the nominal interest rate.

A negative real interest rate simply implies that means that inflation rate is more than nominal interest rate.

Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to

Answers

Answer:

Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

Explanation:

This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:

Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)

Where;

Y = Total Output = $35 billion

C = Desired consumption = $15 billion

G = Government purchases = $10 billion

I = Desired investment = $6 billion

NX = Net foreign lending = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:

$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX

$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX

NX = $4 billion

Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

Answers

Answer:

Debit Insurance expenses for $57

Credit Prepaid insurance for $57

Explanation:

From the Trial Balance, Prepaid Insurance is $75. Since on December 31, 2022, the insurance still unexpired amounted to $18, the insurance expenses for the year can therefore be calculated as follows:

Insurance expenses = $75 - $18 = $57

The adjusting entries will therefore be as follows:

Particulars                             Dr ($)                   Cr ($)    

Insurance expenses                57

Prepaid insurance                                               57

(To record insurance expenses for the year.)                

Note that the amount of $18 unexpired insurance will now be the Prepaid insurance that will appear as an asset under the Current Asset in the balance sheet, while the $57 insurance expenses will be charged as an expense in the income statement.

King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.

Answers

Answer: 1.2

Explanation:

The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.

Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;

ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier

18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier

18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier

Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15

Equity Multiplier = 1.2

Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.

Answers

Answer:

both statements are false

Explanation:

if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.

also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.

A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Which of the following will cause an increase in the supply of a product?

A.)production increases

B.)establishment of new companies

C.)both a and b

D.)neither a or b

Answers

Answer:

C.)both a and b

Explanation:

when production increases more unit of goods will be produced. when more number of goods will be produced, more will be available for supply in market.Hence, we can say that production increase cause an increase in the supply of a product.

When new company companies establishes for production of a same same type of product, the production of product will increase when  product production is measured altogether for the product and hence number of product in the market will increase and hence the supply of product will increase. Hence, we can say that establishment of new companies  cause an increase in the supply of a product.

Thus, option C both a and b is the correct answer.

The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The fiduciary duty of care also called duty of care is the fudicaiary responsibility that requires board directors of a company to act and make decisions in good faith, having the best interest of the company in mind. This duty(whether written or implied) makes board directors responsible in ensuring that decisions made for the company are sound, ethical and legal.

In the above example, board directors of the suds corporation may have not performed this duty as required but this would depend on thorough investigation to ascertain the method and process by which the decision was arrived on. For instance, we are sure the decision was legal and also ethical(as they were only out to improve on company products and increase revenue likewise), we are not sure however of the soundness of this decision. This leads us to investigate the processes and results obtained from enquiring/researching on this new product decided on by the board. Therefore was it sound according to these results and processes. This is where evidence of a breach of duty by the board may be found

Ben has ​$500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal​ after-tax interest rate and the real​ after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.

Answers

Answer:

Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%

Explanation:

The Nominal rate is 10%

Inflation rate is 6%

And Tax rate is 20%

Nominal after-tax interest rate

= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)

= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)

= 8%

Real After-Tax Interest Rate

= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate

= 8% - 6%

= 2%

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act introduced a large amount of government spending into the economy—$789 billion! Suppose the marginal propensity to consume in the United States is 0.85. How much would the program increase total spending in the economy?

Answers

Answer:

$5,262.63

Explanation:

The computation of the program increase in total spending in economy is shown below:

But before that we need to find out the government spending multiplier is '

= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.85)

= 6.67

Now

The increase in total spending is

= increase in spending × spending multiplier

= $789 billion × 6.67

= $5,262.63

Hence it would be increased by $5,262.63

The benefits are: increased market share, creation of competitive barriers, maintenance of process quality, etc.

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $240,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $69,230 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $9,000. A machine costs $170,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last nine years, and will generate an after-tax income of $38,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

A                                               2.08

B                                               3.066

Explanation:

The payback period is the length of time in years it will take the net cash inflow of a project to recoup its initial cost

Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow

Investment A

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years

                               =  (240,000 - 9,000)/5 =

Annul cash inflow = 69,230 + 46200  = 115,430

Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow

                           = 240,000/ 115,430 = 2.079

Investment B

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years

                               =  (170,000 - 13,000)/9 = 17,444.444

Annul cash inflow= 38,000 + 17,444.44= 55,444.44

Payback period = 170,000 /55,444.44  =3.067

Investment                               Payback period(in years)
